Is that not enough? From what I heard most people who wanted to get into Webster got in. The Mayan could have been the same. That was only 2 concerts. A few more with reasonably advanced announcements I think could accommodate a lot of people.

I don't see why they can't spread out the coastal venues or just play multiple nights at the same venue for consistency instead of bouncing around the city. But the number I think is OK.

Inevitable fact is that you're going to have a lot of people travelling in the US. It's the downside of having a giant country, cheaper gas, and subsequentially shitty public transit. Also that the big chunk in the middle is less populated and even less populated by Muse fans.

Tbh, I think this is a stupid idea. It doesn't solve any of the actual beef which is the inequality between sets.

Yes, I'd love a random rarities tour. But I'd much rather be in a situation where I could hear something unexpected at a future Muse gig.

Yep yep. I don't want to go to a gig on a 'special tour' and then have to think aw right that's it then, next tour it's back to 'Muse by numbers'... like I said earlier I don't understand why they think there are only two ways to go - a big gig for casual crowds who want Madness & Starlight vs a small gig for hardcore crowds who want rarities - it makes no sense. Every single gig is a blend of different types of fans, every single gig they see those faces on the front row, acknowledge them holding up signs, song requests, celebrating their 50th, 100th gigs... surely they can see the mix for themselves every night they play. those people on the front row aren't demanding a rarities tour, we just want a few rarities as part of every gig, as a nod to those of us who love the back catalogue.

Also I don't think anyone's made this point yet - These rarities we're all demanding - they were singles!!!
